On the way home, I stopped at the pharmacy and bought another bottle of Tylenol to have on hand.
Came home and responded to office emails. Even though I had informed my supervisor that I had medical appointments scheduled for today, she had forgotten about them.
After that, I went to my second doctor's appointment and was seen by the radiation oncologist. He, too, went over the MRI results and blood test results with me, but he didn't seem overly concerned about the higher than normal results. I have a follow up appointment with him in two months' time.
It was a sunny, warm afternoon, today, but I didn't go for a walk. Instead, I spent the rest of the afternoon and early part of the evening doing office work.
Today, I am grateful for:
- Safe drives to the medical appointments and back
- Mostly good test results
- Additional blood work to further test the other results
- Good medical care
- Phone calls from family, emails from friends, and video chatting with daughter
I had to be fasting for my blood tests in the morning, so I had a nutritional drink for breakfast, afterwards. Lunch was a banana and some crackers, eaten on the run. Dinner was a salad (Romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber), two more baked breaded fish fillets, and the last of a bag of frozen corn, with blackberries and yogurt for dessert.

How was your day, today?
We have had lots of fun, as my daughter came to stay for a couple of days, unexpectedly. Feeling blessed,. Glad your day was good. It's cold but bright and clear here. What's your weather like?
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice that you got to enjoy an unexpected visit from your daughter. Getting together with family and enjoying each others company is what it is all about, isn't it?
DeleteWe are having hazy sunshine, but rain is in the forecast for tonight. It is supposed to be 62F outside, but I haven't been out, yet, and have the heater on inside the house because I am feeling cold!
Wednesday was a good day for me as we had my work holiday party. It was a pot luck which always has the best food. I'm glad that your doctor's appointments are going well. It's looking more and more like dehydration may have been the culprit in your fainting.
ReplyDeleteOh, those office potlucks are the best, aren't they? I always enjoy them. This year, my colleagues went out to lunch, but I couldn't join them because I had my medical appointments (they went out, yesterday). Yes, dehydration seems to be the cause! I should have known better, but, apparently I didn't!
DeleteProud you got your doctors appointments done.. Hope the next blood work report will be good. So happy that your doctors are following though with each thing.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself.. and rest when needed.. hugs.
Thank you, Judy. Yes, the doctors are taking the time to check everything and I appreciate that. Thank you for the reminder to rest and take care of myself. I am trying! Hope all is well with you.
DeleteWhat a busy medical day! Still, probably better to get it over with in one day rather than two. Good that you seem to be eating well, when you are not having to fast for tests!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting into some real winter now. Translating to fahrenheit, we are around 3° now and may be down to -5° tonight. I'm not thrilled! We are going out in the evening and I'd rather hunker down at home with a good book, but I know the home we are visiting will have a cosy fire in the woodstove.

It was a busy day, but I didn't want to reschedule appointments, as they are so hard to get.
DeleteBrr! That is COLD! Bundle up warmly when you do go out, and stay close to that fireplace!
Glad the appointments went well! My Wednesday was pretty good. Despite the cold and snow I went out to lunch with a couple of friends. Rang my Mum and found out that her scan results came back all clear! She doesn't have to have another for six months! So happy!
ReplyDeleteSuch good news about your Mum, Sharon. So happy for you both! I know the holidays will be that much more special because of the good news. Glad you were able to go out to enjoy lunch with friends. Stay safe and warm in all that snow!
DeleteI'm glad that your pap test came back normal. :) That has got to be a relief after all you have gone through my friend. Praying that the follow up blood test results show that you are back in the normal range again. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. Yes, it was a big relief. I am hoping that the blood test results will be normal, too. Hope all is well with you.
DeleteI'm glad you're getting checked up. Prayers and good wishes continue x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lyssa. Appreciate your well wishes and prayers.
